The name was shortened to Vimto in 1912. Nichols plc remains a UK-listed independent business and the Vimto recipe has stayed substantially unchanged for over a century. The brand has particularly strong cultural penetration in the Middle East, where Vimto cordial is associated with Ramadan iftar traditions across much of the region.
